"Your Majesty, where is this Yang Tingjian, the old slave doesn't know, from Pingyang Mansion to Jingshi, thousands of miles away, what if he hasn't arrived in the capital yet? Even if Yang Tingjian arrives in Beijing, he will seize the time to read the book in preparation for the next year's examination! ”

"This commendation is indispensable, Yang Tingjian should be a model for today's scholars, if every scholar has Yang Tingjian's courage, why should I not be worried, my companion, you go to the Ministry of Rites quickly, let the Ministry of Rites draw up a commendation charter, I want the whole world to know, for me to kill thieves, I will not hesitate to reward them, I will treat them well."

It seems that Chongzhen wants to do the thing of "buying horse bones with a thousand gold", and he wants to set Yang Tingjian as a model, so that all scholars in the world can take him as an example, which is the same as the principle of setting up heroes in later generations.

"The emperor understands what the old slave means, the old slave will do it, and he will not treat Yang Tingjian badly."

Soon there were rumors in the palace that Yang Tingjian had beheaded Wang Jiayin in various versions, such as three heads and six arms, an iron tower, one liter of food for one meal, and so on.

At that time, the fastest reaction was still those cabinet members who worked in the Forbidden City, Zhou Yanru, as the first shop, as soon as he heard the news, he immediately went out of Wenyuan Pavilion and went straight to the Yang Xin Palace, went to Chongzhen to say goodbye, and at the same time discussed the future strategy of suppressing thieves.

But Chongzhen no longer trusts Zhou Yanru so much, mainly because Yuan Chonghuan, who was recommended by Zhou Yanru, committed the crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason, Yuan Chonghuan himself was also executed by Ling Chi, and the people of Beijing competed to eat his meat, and Yuan Chonghuan's meat was actually sold for one or two pieces of silver, which shows how much the people of Beijing hate Yuan Chonghuan.

Not to mention whether Yuan Chonghuan was wronged or not, as the governor of Jiliao, he commanded hundreds of thousands of troops, and his subordinates even tightened their belts in the Ming Dynasty to form 30,000 Guanning iron cavalry, but Yuan Chonghuan was unaware of the Tartars' entry into the customs and plundering, so that the Tartars ravaged Beijing, plundered more than 300,000 people, slaughtered hundreds of thousands, and countless cities in the Jingji area were burned to ruins.

In addition, Yuan Chonghuan murdered Mao Wenlong without authorization, eliminating a sharp knife arranged by the Ming Dynasty in the belly of the Tartar, which is equivalent to allowing the Tartar to enter the customs and plunder unscrupulously and without scruples.

Yuan Chonghuan relied on these two crimes to die unjustly, and Zhou Yanru lost all his favor in Chongzhen because of his recommendation of Yuan Chonghuan.

Wen Tiren was a traitor and blindly curryed favor with the emperor. He flattered Zhou Yanru on the surface, and secretly plotted to seize the position of his first assistant. Under the instigation of Wen Tiren, he secretly instructed the official to constantly impeach Zhou Yanru. said that Zhou Yanru's children were arrogant in their hometown, and they pressed Zhou Yanru step by step, Zhou Yanru argued many times, although Emperor Chongzhen was comforted, but he couldn't help but have many questions in his heart, Zhou Yanru's first shop position was already precarious.

Wen Tiren knew about the good news later than Zhou Yanru, so he didn't go to join in the fun, but asked people to send another emergency military information to the Heart Cultivation Palace.

At this time, Zhou Yanru was talking to Chongzhen about his strategy of suppressing thieves and pacifying them:

"Your Majesty, since Chief Liu has been conferred the head, it must be chaos, so it is better to order Hong Chengchou to send troops to sweep away the thieves."

"Well, this method is feasible, Zhou Aiqing will help me draft an edict!"

"Report ...... Shaanxi emergency military situation. ”

As soon as Zhou Yanru thought of the desk next to him, when Chongzhen drafted an edict, a eunuch sent in an urgent document, and Chongzhen's face suddenly gloomy when he saw it:

"Zhou Aiqing, Mizhi Zhang Xianzhong is the opposite, trapping Fugu and other counties, and claiming to be the Eight Kings, why is your strategy of suppressing and appeasing so unbearable...... Hum. ”

Zhou Yanru stood stunned on the spot, and could only immediately kneel down and continue to kowtow to ask for guilt. It can be said that Chongzhen still trusts Zhou Yanru very much, and the strategy of suppressing and appeasing in the northwest is also in accordance with Zhou Yanru's strategy of focusing on appeasement, but the thieves either rebel or rebel one after another.

……

Yang Tingjian slept beautifully in Zhegui Garden, and then went out to visit the Zhejiang Club to visit the same year, this time Zhejiang came to apply for the examination of more than 300 people, everyone took Yang Tingjian as the head of the horse, because Yang Tingjian is recognized by everyone as the first in talent and morality, and no one dares to plunder its edge.

Extremely close to Yang Tingjian are Zhang Pu and Wu Weiye, Yang Tingshu, Wu Changshi, Chen Zilong and others, they are all members of the Restoration Society, and Zhang Pu, the leader of the Restoration Society, invited Yang Tingjian to join several times, but Yang Tingjian politely refused.

In the Ming Dynasty, scholars were scholars with eight strands, and scholars were scholars to sharpen their articles and seek fame, so they respected teachers and made friends, and associations became a common practice, especially in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. In the late Wanli period, the government became more and more corrupt, and in the Apocalypse period, there was a situation of eunuchs arbitrarily exercising power, from the six cabinets to the governors and governors of the four directions, there were people who were willing to be Wei Zhongxian's sworn friends.

Zhang Pu and others felt bitterly that "the world is declining, and the scholars are not familiar with the scriptures, but they are plagiarized and painted, and they are fortunate to be in Yousi, Dengmingtang cannot lead to the king, and Changjunyi does not know the people", so they contacted people from all over the world and advocated that "the revival of retro learning will make those who are different from Japan useful", and it is called "Fushe". Although the main task of the Restoration Society is to figure out the eight stocks, learn from each other, and improve their conduct, it also has a strong political color, and Donglin succeeds him.

Although some of the ideas of the Fushe are conducive to current politics, they ultimately represent the interests of all the gentry class, and there are quite conflicts with Yang Tingjian's future reforms, but this does not prevent Yang Tingjian from being a brother, and he will help a lot in his career in the same year and in the future.

Zhejiang Hall in Yujia Hutong, Yang Tingjian needs to go from the outer city to the inner city, so he rode a horse, the Ming Dynasty Jingshi is also prosperous, after the Tartar entered the Kou in the second year of Chongzhen, although the damage to the North Zhili is great, but it also makes a lot of land become a terra nullius, which allows those landless people to farm, so that the resettlement of refugees is temporarily solved.

When Yang Tingjian arrived at the Zhejiang Guild Hall, several brothers were gathering together to discuss going to the Jiangsu Guild Hall to meet friends with poems!

"Brother Tingjian, you are here, our brothers are still worried about you! I heard that the thieves entered Shanxi, and you just went to Xiangling, and now that you can come back safely, I will be relieved. ”

Zhang Pu first saw Yang Tingjian who entered the hall, and hurriedly got up to greet him. Yang Tingshu is Yang Tingjian's brother of the same sect, he is in his thirties this year, and he is also in the middle of this year, he belongs to the kind of person who is very loyal and honest.

Yang Tingjian had just stepped into the hall, and Yang Tingshu quickly ran to Yang Tingjian, stretched out his hand and took Yang Tingjian's hand and asked a long question:

"Jingshan, you are in a hurry to be a brother, before leaving, my uncle has a lot of explanations, let me take care of you, and you want to go to Shanxi, and then I heard that the thieves are in trouble in several prefectures and counties in Shanxi, which really makes it difficult for my brother to sleep and eat, for fear that you will have something to lose, but now it's good." (Yang Tingjian's word Bingru, No. Jingshan)
